You know:
When the defacto world's currency, the dollar, breaks, as it is now poised to do, millions of people are going to get stuck with paper, in the form of dollars, bonds, stock certificates, and treasury notes, that will be as worthless as confetti...
The paradox is, YK:
Bonds and treasury notes get bought the more they tend to get worthless. Because they bring better RENTS the more they get worthless. A type of idiotic pyramide-game: see Argentina bond-market.
I think in some opinions you have it right, YK. The more the economy tends to "virtual business" (as a result of exhaustion of patentable inventions and genuine new ideas) the higher the risk to crash. the "big economy crash" cannot be avoided anymore. It is my true conviction.
